Simultaneous cat and external keyboard input causing kernel panic (2011)
I misremembered, it was this one, about Linux mint and cinnamon screensaver (used as "lock screen" I guess):
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354
While searching I also found some issues with cat in the Ubuntu bug tracker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug...

Green Screen of Death
I'm not sure what you mean by "green screen of death", that isn't a common complaint. It could be a cinnamon-screensaver bug. An issue there would probably show up in the file ~/.xsession-errors and could be posted to the bug tracker https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues
- Trying to make a suspend script but have a catch 22
- Lock Screen saver resets display config

What bug are you referring to? After searching I can only find references to bugs in cinnamon-screensaver and xorg-x11-server that have all been fixed.

System hangs on resumption
When I resume after suspending, the tty prompt for physlock comes up, as intended. When I enter my password, though, it shows the desktop and lets me move around the mouse, but the keyboard does nothing.

Is it possible to use a virtual keyboard while swaylock / lock screen is active?
I'm not familiar with the PinePhone, but since you're able to use fbkeyboard in VTs, it sounds like physlock might work for you. I just wrote a comment about it in another thread. Unfortunately it's not very amenable to customization.

swaylock alternatives?
I use and recommend physlock. It's the most security-focused screen locking utility I'm aware of. Upon activation, it switches out of the graphical session and into tty0 which helps mitigate both of your issues. It also locks TTY switching to prevent accessing a logged-in TTY while locked, which is something that I don't think most other screen lockers do.
